Parkwalk is part of Parkrun, a national, and international, free, fun and friendly weekly 5k community event. Our local Parkrun/Parkwalk takes place every Saturday morning at 9am on Teignmouth Promenade. The u3a group is a place for members to make contact with each other if they would like to take part, and we meet at about 8:50am in front of the Venus Café. A WhatsApp group allows us to contact each other to find out who, if anyone, will be walking on any given Saturday. There is no requirement or expectation that anyone will take part every week, or obligation to finish the full course after starting it. Our idea is that we will walk (or you may wish to jog some of it!) the 5k (roughly 3 mile) level, sea-front course at our own pace, often in the company of fellow u3a members. It is free to join Parkrun but you will need to register with them - go to parkrun.org.uk and then 'register' - to take part fully. You bring your barcode with you each time you attend and it will be scanned as you finish to record your time. After the event we will meet at The Riviera Tearooms for a well-earned drink and a catch-up!
